| Obverse description | Elephant advancing to left in a schematic, boldly rendered style typical of Shahi copper coinage. The animal is depicted with a raised trunk, prominent tusks, and a stylized body with visible legs. A Brahmi or Sharada legend reading 'Sri Vakka Deva' appears in the upper field above the elephant. The overall execution is characteristic of the crude but vigorous die-cutting tradition of the Kabul Shahi workshops. |
